FF7 Rebirth Platinum Grind Reconsidered by Dev

FF7 Rebirth Platinum Grind Reconsidered by Dev

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s PS5 Platinum Trophy was deemed excessively demanding by director Naoki Hamaguchi, who said the requirement to perfectly complete virtually every element created unwanted pressure; for the upcoming third installment, the trophy list is planned to be more reasonable and balanced with more diverse content and a focus on enjoyment rather than forcing everything, and mitigations are being considered for the current lists. The 7-Star Hotel trophy was the toughest hurdle, with estimates of 150–200 hours to 100% the game.

Elliot's Millennium Tales Mixes Mini-Challenges with Big RPG Ambition

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales showcases how thoughtful minigames can elevate a Zelda-inspired action-RPG. Team Asano weaves five ability-based minigames tied to Elliot and his fairy Faie (including Teleport, Ignite, and Sprint) plus a cat-hunting side quest, rewarding players with soundtrack vinyls and other bonuses. The piece also notes how Switch 2 demos — like two JoyCon mouse-driven minigames in a Bravely Default remaster — illustrate the potential of micro-challenges to enrich Square Enix RPGs, while praising the game's expansive world, time-travel twist, and goofy charm that echo classic JRPGs.
